Friendship It's so lucky for me to have such a good friend who is willing to help me when she is busy. I am so moved. I will be a sweet friend like her, caring about her and helping her.

No Free Lunch There is no free lunch. Don't touch the things which seem free or too cheap.

Busy? I sat in front of my computer, without playing nor chating, just working. But it seems that I haven't really done too much work. Efficiency!!

An activity I haven't logged on italki for several days. Yesterday I took part in an meaningful activity which let me think a lot. It's a young people's cultural and thoughts exchange. There were two project which impressed me most. One is the Mamatown study helping project which often organizes fund-raising and community outreach, They hold charity bazaars to help the children in poverty. And they conduct community parties to encourage the people who are unconfident to show themselves. The other one is "On the way to school", which is committed to improve the unattended children's mental health. They invited some famous presenters, educators, psychologists to record educative stories from best selling teenage books. They also appeal the general public to record some good stories or encouraging words. Then the volunteers provide these recordings to the unattended children. Both of the two project help children in an equal way: they asked the children to bring their little gifts to exchange, like a painting, a letter, a flower and so on. I was moved by the projects' stories and the warm hearts of sponsors and volunteers. I esteem them deeply. Public good is not far away from us. Like Uncle Licha, the founder of Mamatown said, "I am not a knowledgeable specialist, I don't know too much about how the society running, but I can do some things which are obviously good things." Yes, although we are ordinary, we are able to warm people who need help.

Still Closed I didn't get in touch with my cousin for several months.I seldom occur to call him. Even when I realize about it, I thought that we have both grown up, not like the two naive kids before. Our thoughts may change to be different. Will we have nothing to talk about? Anyway, I miss my cousin, so I called him. He answered, with a little surprise and joy.Just after a few seconds, everything started to run smoothly, no estrangement, no gap. We chatted and laughed, like when we were kids. Feel free to get in touch with the one you miss, you will find that you are still closed like before. ,

Self-control Self-control is hard, but is rewarding. A famous enterpriser once said he forced himself to do one thing every day. The process of self-control is painful，but the result is brilliant. If you not push yourself, you will never realize you are able to achieve so many things.

Weather Today's weather is really good. The sky is blue, there isn't a wisp of cloud. The sunlight is dazzling which let me feel warm in the late autumn. There are some breeze, just cool, not cold. I like this kind of weather. I am not good at describing, hope you can imagine the weather.

Do some positive things What we did affects what we feel. If I had read, studied, jogged today, my mood wouldn't have been down.
